[Elecraft] Boom Set

[Mike K2MK]

Hi Ricardo and Don,

I also enjoyed the Yamaha CM-500 but I was very disappointed when it failed
last week after only 11 months of use. There is a mesh webbing that rests on
your head and it became detached at one end. I opened up the headset to
determine if it could be repaired easily and it can't. I can see how to do a
sloppy fix with super glue but since it was within the one year warranty I
decided to send it back to Yamaha.

Navigating their website was not pleasant. There is no way that I could see
to e-mail or phone customer service so I followed the instructions on the
headset package and just shipped it back. I prefer having a RMA number but
hopefully I will get satisfactory results with the approach I took.

I know lots of K3 users have purchased the CM-500 and I don't recall ever
seeing a posting about this type of failure. They were used very gently so I
hope this was just an unusual manufacturing defect.

73,
Mike K2MK
